This is caused by your pineal gland (the most important part of your brain) releasing Dimethyltryptamine aka DMT. DMT is what propels your soul out of body when you sleep, and when you’re about to die or have a ‘near death experience’. Let me put it this way so it’s easier to understand..

We do not worship the devil. In fact, we don’t even have a devil. (see history of witchcraft) Moreover, we are not old crones who ride broomsticks and cast spells on unsuspecting people, perhaps to turn them into toads. We are not all women, though it may be that the majority of witches are women—this from millennium of disempowerment by the male dominated Judeo-Christian tradition. Women have always had the Power if they seek it in themselves; and that threatens clergymen right down to their bones.
We are not evil. Really, that pretty much describes us: witches are just ordinary people who use the Powers to enjoy a good life.

Wiccan views of divinity. The divine couple is one of the most ancient concepts in religion.
God the Father was symbolized as the Sun, his consort was symbolized alternately as either the Moon or the Earth, and the "Lord" was viewed as their offspring: the Son of the Sun; a living representative of God on Earth. Wiccan views of divinity are generally theistic, and revolve around a Goddess and a God, thereby being generally dualistic, (with the Goddess given primacy in Dianic Wicca). Some Wiccans are polytheists, believing in many different deities taken from various 'pagan' pantheons, while others would believe that, in the words of Dion Fortune, "all the Goddesses are one Goddess, and all the Gods one God".
Some see divinity as having a real, external existence; others see the Goddesses and Gods as archetypes or thoughtforms within the collective consciousness. Gardnerian Wicca as a denomination is primarily concerned with the priestess or priest's relationship to the Goddess and God. Dualism[edit] Ostara - Wiccan/pagan holidays.
